About Unwarp

Unwarp is a voice-first note-taking app. You speak; Unwarp listens, transcribes, polishes, and files the result as a clean, searchable note — without you ever touching a keyboard. It is free to use on the hosted instance at unwarp.app and free to self-host from the public source.

Why it exists

Typing is a bottleneck. Most of the thoughts worth keeping happen away from a keyboard — walking, commuting, between meetings — and they vanish by the time we sit back down. Unwarp exists so the capture is as cheap as talking, and the cleanup happens automatically.

How it works

  • Capture — tap once, talk freely. Audio uploads to your Unwarp server.
  • Transcribe — Groq Whisper turns the audio into text in seconds.
  • Polish — Claude rewrites the rambling transcript into a clean note, extracts action items, suggests tags, writes a TLDR.
  • Find — OpenAI embeddings + Postgres full-text search let you search by meaning or by exact phrase.

Everything else — the calendar, the action-items inbox, the teams, the daily morning digest — is built on top of that core loop.

Who builds it

Unwarp is built and maintained by Pentaeon, an independent software studio based in Paris. The full source is on GitHub at github.com/Pentaeon/Unwarp — fork it, file issues, send pull requests.

Private by design

Self-hosting is a first-class path, not an afterthought. One command on a fresh VPS brings up the whole stack — web app, Postgres, Caddy with auto-issued TLS, the STT sidecar. Your notes stay on your server; the only outbound traffic is the AI inference calls listed in the privacy policy.
